"Go for it!" cried the old detective. "Don't keep us any longer in suspense." Ed instantly took a header into the water. Ed's head came popping up in a minute. He raised a hand out of the water and it held a square tin case, with a rope attached. "It's the duplicate of the one I fetched up last night," he said. "I don't know what's in it, I'm sure." "Bring it up here and we'll soon find out," called Old King Brady. Ed came up with his prize, but it was not so easy settling the all important question after all. Old King Brady had all kinds of trouble opening the thing, but at last the lid was pried back, and sure enough money was revealed. It proved to be the Albany pension money and the Government got it. Old King Brady saw to it that Ed came in for a share of the reward. The boy went back to Albany but his mother and Ethel failed to return. The last Ed heard of them they were in San Francisco, where the misguided girl had married another Chinaman. Harry was under the weather for a week but he entirely recovered and wants nothing more to do with the secret dens of Pell street. And thus the case was rushed to a successful finish the night following up the Brady's Chinese Clew.

Mrs. Guy Wood went for a row on Keuka Lake, N. Y., the other day and dangled her hand in the water over the edge of the boat. All at once she saw a lake trout dart toward her hand and she made a grab for it. She scooped the fish up into the boat, and it was found to be a trout weighing two pounds.
